Pied À Terre Cabernet Sauvignon 36 Telaya Cabernet

WINES BY THE GLASS
The fundamentals of Thai cuisine can create some of the most challenging food pairings with wine. Thai food
has an intensity of flavor with its use of highly aromatic botanicals, coconut milk, bitter herbs, spicy chilies,
fish sauce, and dark soy sauces. The cuisine merits itself on the success of balancing these elements to make
a dish that engages all five senses at once. A poorly chosen wine can disrupt that balance and make our food
taste intensely sweet, sour, salty, or bitter. Here at Mai Thai, we have taken great lengths to ensure that every
wine on our list will enhance your dining experience. Some wines pair better with certain dishes, but feel free
to order any of these wines with anything on our dinner menu. Ask your server for recommendations, or take
yourself through our tasting notes to help you make a better selection on your own.

Chardonnay Chehalem “INOX” Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon 2014 9 32
Crisp, but full-bodied, this unoaked chardonnay, brimming with pineapple, tangerine, apples and pears,
with notes of honeysuckle and wet stone, is a compliment to any of our curries, but it plays perfectly
with our savory brown sauces in dishes like the Thai Basil stir-fry or the Drunken Fried Rice or
Noodles.
Chardonnay Foxglove Central Coast, California, 2014 9 33
Foxglove is the brainchild of brilliant winemaker Bob Varner, who is renowned for the Varner wines he
crafts with his brother. This Chardonnay is sourced from Edna Valley, a small wine region located close
roduce a well-balanced, mineral-driven, beautifully complex wine. Enjoy this wine with our Kai Yang
Chicken or our Crispy Green Beans Appetizer.
Pinot Gris Lemelson Vineyards ”Tikka’s Run” Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon 2014 9 32
Champagne mango, ripe yellow peach, and lemon curd are held in balance by bright acidity and
accompanied by a lively bouquet of jasmine flowers, lemongrass, and Kaffir lime leaf. The aromatics and
acidity of this wine stand out with our richer fare such as Tom Kah soup or the Swimming Angel.
Riesling Coiled Snake River Valley, Dry, Idaho 2015 8 28
An undisputed champ—a natural—with Thai cuisine, Idaho’s Coiled dry riesling is a go-to with anything
on our menu. The wine undulates with tropical fruits such as lychee, mango, and pineapple, fresh floral
aromas of lavender and jasmine, and Thai herbs like lemongrass and galangal. Our Thai Beef salad,
complex and intense, is one of the most difficult dishes to pair with, but in this wine it’s met its match.
Riesling Mönchhof Mosel QbA, Off-Dry, Germany 2015 8 28
Like spicy food? This wine does. Drink this with our spicier curries such as the Red or Green, or
have it with any dish that you have made to fiery or authentic heat levels. Rainbow papaya, lychee,
pineapple, and peaches are adorned by elderflower yet kept in check by petrol and chalk. The wine’s
high level of acidity is contrapuntal to its residual sugar, a precise tension rarely found in off dry rieslings
produced outside of Germany.
Riesling /Gewurztraminer Gerfeffling Split Rail Winery Snake River AVA, Idaho 2014 9 30
A golden libation with floral hues of Riesling and stoney gardens of Gewürztraminer. Dashes of pepper
and baking spice such as clove and allspice abound. Our Thai Beef or Papaya Salads, complex and
intense, are two of the more difficult dishes to pair with, but in this wine they have met their match.
Sauvignon Blanc Spy Valley Marlborough, New Zealand 2015 9 32
Tropical fruits and floral notes abound in this wine: pineapple, passionfruit, lychee, jasmine flowers and
rose petals. But this wine has a strong undercurrent of grapefruit and freshly-cut grass giving it a
refreshing finish on the palate. Enjoy our Tom Yum Soup or the Green Curry as their herbaceous
and citric notes really shine when paired with this wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon Telaya Boushey Vineyard Yakima Valley AVA, Washington 20141038
A sparing partner at best, the tannic structure and power of Cabernet Sauvignon typically precludes it
from any serious consideration for Thai cuisine. However, local winery, Telaya, has produced a wine
with supple tannins, bursting with ripe fruits such as plum, blueberry, raspberry and dates. The nose of
this wine exudes vanilla, cocoa, tobacco and cedar. A great match for our savory, buttery Pad Se Ew
Noodles and, if you like spicy, a surprising, adventurous partner to our Panang curry.
Los Cardos Malbec Medoza, Argentina 2015 828
This wine makes an entrance with a massive concentration of black peppered fruit, cherry crush, sloe
fruit and loads of licorice-laden berries. The acidity is striking. It creates a great melange with the fruit
and the tannins through the midpalate, thereby giving the wine a powerful backbone and a good sense of
balance. It carries through to the finish that lingers for a good 20-plus seconds with hints of toast, coffee
and anise. This wine embraces our more savory sauces, especially the Thai Basil Stir Fry or Drunken
Noodles drawing out the anise-like accents of Thai Basil.
Merlot blend Beauregard Figeac “Tellus Vinea” Bordeaux, France 20141038
Hand-harvested from vineyards that border the Lalande de Pomerol appellation, cold macerated and aged
in stainless steel and cement vats. Perfectly balanced and structured Merlot, boosted by Cabernet Franc,
with dark fruits, graphite and spice. A tasty and satisfying Bordeaux.
Pinot Noir Vinacola Botter “Avanti” Delle Venezie IGT, Italy 2013 828
If there’s ever a red wine meant for our Curries, it’s this one!. Lighter-bodied with bright red cherry,
raspberry, and cranberry, this pinot noir is delicately accented by notes of tarragon, mushroom, and black
tea. It’s a safe bet for almost any dish on our menu, but it’s exceptionally good with Pad Thai.
Tempranillo Campellares Rioja DOCa, Joven, Spain 2014 828
A higher acid, medium bodied wine brimming with red and black cherry, raspberry, and pluot in addition
to notes of baked earth and black pepper. This wine highlights the cinnamon and star anise found within
our Mussaman Curry and its acidity and red fruit play beautifully with the intense umame undertones
of our Thai Beef salad.
Syrah/Grenache/Mourvedre Horned Beast Split Rail Winery Snake River AVA, Idaho1036
Rhone-style red blend of 83% Syrah, 8% Grenache, 9% Mourvedre. It’s all fresh berry cobbler, crushed
flower, stone & Earth, brimstone & thunder. It’s muscularly genial. The spice and weight in this wine lend
itself perfectly to our Drunken Noodles or Beef Peppersteak.
ROSÉ
5oz
Cinsault Rosé Villa de Anges Vin de Pays d’Oc, France 2015 8 28
As an aperitif it is the perfect warm weather gulper and also pairs exceptionally well with sushi, salads,
and our Kai Yang Chicken.
Gris de Gris Rosé Domaine Fontsainte Corbieres AOC,
France 2015
Expressive and particularly tonic, the wine immediately gives off notes of raspberry, cherry and freshly
picked strawberries - followed by exotic aromas such as pineapple and mango. However on the palate
this wine is bone dry with admirable acidity and depth. Perfect apéritif wine.
